Quality alfalfa feed
from our own fields

GranulTek grows alfalfa on its own fields in the Kaluga Region and processes it into feed for farm animals: alfalfa pellets and VTM grass meal, hay in round bales and high-density bales, and haylage. We control quality at every stage — from buying seed to shipping the finished products.

Alfalfa for livestock

• 

• Alfalfa is one of the oldest forage crops: animals have been fed with it for more than two and a half thousand years, and interest in it keeps growing.

  This perennial legume gives feed with a high protein content. It contains fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and a full set of amino acids, as well as carotene and chlorophyll.

  The minerals found in alfalfa include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, copper and manganese.

  The vitamins include C, E, D, K and the B group (B1, B2, B12). Alfalfa also contains pantothenic and folic acids, biotin, natural enzymes, sugars and starch.

  Thanks to this composition, alfalfa feed helps support digestion and metabolism in animals.

  From our own alfalfa we make pellets, hay in round bales, high-density hay bales and haylage. You can choose the right form of feed in the “Products” section.

Fiber

• Alfalfa contains a lot of digestible fiber, combined with energy and protein.

  If 10–20% of fiber is added to a total mixed ration, animals eat it more willingly and less uneaten feed is left on the feed table.

  Alfalfa fiber stimulates the gut and helps animals make better use of the other components of the ration.

  A distinctive feature of alfalfa is the high digestibility of its fiber at a high crude-fiber content.

  That is why alfalfa is convenient wherever a total mixed ration must be balanced precisely.

• To give an animal 1 kg of fiber, add to its ration: 3.3 kg of alfalfa pellets or 5.7 kg of alfalfa in bales

  • 11 kg of grass silage
  • 14 kg of soybean meal
  • 17 kg of corn silage or peas
  • 31 kg of fresh meadow grass or corn cob mix
  • 40 kg of wheat, triticale or corn
